Canadian here. That's a HARD PASS for me.
Of all the LGBT characters , Northstar is perhaps the most boring one . I would rather read a story about Iceman (again) discovering his life as a Omega gay mutant. Or Prodigy. Or Mercury. Or Loa. Or Anole. Or Destiny (ect.) There is a lot of possibilities!
But the househusband with a grumpy personnality? No.
They should do a one-shot with all the bitchiest characters (Jean-Paul, Emma, Namor, Pietro...) giving each other a "reading", RuPaul-style. Let Grant Morrison write it and watch the snark flow. Dominique Jackson as Ororo, Jean as the token bombshell, Bobby as the token gay and Morrison writing themselves in the comic should preside as judges.
Northstar tends to be written as a jerk most of the time. He's not even a fun jerk like Namor or Quicksilver. He's just usually unlikable. That's fine in a team setting but I'm not so sure how well that would work out in a solo title.
A Solo Book?!....Sure. Give it too him.
Not sure why this hasn't happen yet.........
One could argue encouraging an LGBT book that's sure to fail, allowing people to say "look, LGBT books fail!", is probably more anti-gay with the type of logic you're employing...
He's had a mini before. But I don't think he had been revealed as gay yet?
Arguing against a hetero-normative lifestyle for 2 gay characters is somehow homophobic? There are some really weird takes in this thread.

Actually, they are employees of Arcade.
Its reinforcing stereotypes! And in what way is a monogamous relationship seen as heteronormative? Not all of us gay men are involved in open relationships, or anything else similar. In fact monogamous relationships are far more normal in the gay community than the homophobic media leads you to believe.
Northstar and Kyle have been a happily married couple in comics for years so to change that now to something you seem a bit “more gay” says a lot more about you than anyone else and their “weird takes in this thread”
